At one time, I had a 1970-ish Honda CB350. Two cylinder, dual carbs, point ignition completely stock UJM. I did some gas mileage tests and got 103 MPG at a steady 30 MPH, and 67 MPG at 60 MPH. In both cases, DWL was the secret. That bike needed a VERY steady wrist on the throttle to get best mileage.
Power was more than adequate to accelerate to and keep up with traffic at 70 MPH. I averaged 60 MPG driving "normal" in a mixture of city and highway driving.
